JANCD-SR21

JANCD‑SR21‑1 is a CPU/axis control board for Yaskawa YASNAC LX/MX CNC and Motoman ERC robot controllers. It is the next‑generation upgrade of JANCD‑SR20/SR20B, with enhanced processing and I/O capacity. Discontinued; only new old stock, used or refurbished units available.

Description

1. General

  • Model: JANCD‑SR21‑1 (sometimes written JANCD‑SR21)

  • Type: Main CPU / Axis Processor Board (backplane slot)

  • Manufacturer: Yaskawa Electric (YASNAC / Motoman)

  • Function: System control + 4‑axis servo motion control (position/velocity/torque)

  • Compatibility: YASNAC LX, MX series; Motoman ERC robots

  • Not compatible: XRC, NX100, DX, YRC controllers

2. Specifications

  • Power: +5 V, ±12 V from backplane; typical ~2.0 A

  • Processor: High‑speed 16‑bit motion CPU (upgraded from SR20)

  • Memory: 512 KB RAM / 256 KB ROM (larger than SR20B)

  • Axes: 4 synchronized servo axes (linear/circular interpolation, electronic gear)

  • Interfaces: Servo bus, encoder (incremental/absolute), limit/home, emergency stop, system I/O, backplane bus

  • Operating temp: 0 °C to 45 °C; storage −20 °C to 60 °C

3. Key Features

  • Upgraded performance: Faster DSP, more memory, improved real‑time control vs SR20/SR20B

  • 4‑axis closed‑loop motion control with trajectory planning (trapezoidal / S‑curve)

  • Integrated PLC: Enhanced sequence/logic handling (M/S/T codes, machine I/O)

  • System management: Coordinates with servo boards, I/O boards, operator panels

  • Protection: Hardware overcurrent, overvoltage, overheat, watchdog; self‑diagnosis alarms

4. Compatibility & Replacement

  • Replaces: JANCD‑SR20, SR20B (drop‑in, better performance)

  • Works with:

    • CPU/backplane: JANCD‑SR21 series

    • Servo boards: JANCD‑SP series

    • I/O boards: JANCD‑IO series

    • Operator panels: YASNAC LX/MX panels

5. English Summary

JANCD‑SR21‑1 is Yaskawa’s high‑performance CPU/axis control board for YASNAC LX/MX CNC and Motoman ERC robot systems. It upgrades the earlier SR20/SR20B with a faster processor, more memory, and stronger I/O and PLC capabilities. It controls 4 servo axes in closed loop, supports interpolation and electronic gearing, and provides system‑level monitoring and protection. The board is discontinued and supplied as new old stock, used or refurbished. It is pin‑compatible with SR20/SR20B for direct replacement.
